Thanks grasshoppers, is it possible to have multiple audio connections for the one configured source if they will not be on at the same time? eg - for the BDP input source:
A bluray player connected via HDMI for video and audio
An audio device (eg Squeezebox) connected via analogue audio

Basically will the analogue audio inputs of a configured source work while the device that is configured for the digital input is turned off?

If so, then I could get a few analogue devices connected to sources where the digital device is off when not in use.

I can't honestly answer that. All my sources are digital.
On second thought, you'd have to go into the set up menu
And change it every time. When I got a smart TV i used
Optical in for the 'aux' which is by default analog. It's now
DOA unless I redo the set up.

Actually that is a really good scenario to test if you have the time:
1. In the Anthem's Advanced Source Setup for the "Aux" Source, set the "Main/Rec Analog Audio Input" to "Front Analog".
2. Get out of the menus and set the Anthem to "Aux" with the TV on and make sure you can hear the sound of the TV
3. Turn the TV off and plug any audio device (phone, ipod etc) into the front audio inputs and play something and see if you can hear it (you may need to up the volume on the player or amp).

1.Anyone know if there was a recent ARC update and if so what changes were made?

2. If there was once I download the new file will I need to rerun calibration?

I cant remember the last time there was a software update.

Thanks

1) The latest ARC-1 is version 3.0.2

2) Not unless you you recently added center back channel speakers because the only change from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2 was adding the option of using the back channels as a single speaker instead of just both together.

There haven't been any software updates since 3.0.2. The MRX 00 series is Gen1 and they are now on Gen3. Anthem stopped all software updates for Gen1 not long after Gen2 was released.

I consider myself a "somewhat smart" guy when it comes to AVR's but I cant figure this out.

I have a MRX-500 with a BAD HDMI output. Not a problem I thought since the rest of everything works.

I have a Roku 3 connected via HDMI to a Insignia TV. The Insignia then feeds a optical signal into the Anthem. NOT ideal, but its what I have to work with.

I am running a 2.1 setup as I JUST got a sub TODAY.

ARC calibrated it no problem, I uploaded the settings no problem......

I can't get it to actually make sound when watching YouTube, PLEX (7.1 or 5.1 encoded movies), or Netflix.

Roku Audio settings are set to Auto (Dolby D). Insignia TV Audio output can either be PCM or Pass-through. Neither make a difference to the Anthem it appears. The bass management on the Anthem is set to 80hz and under quick setup Subwoofer is set to YES.

Nevermind. I finally figured out I could use the composite connection to at least get the OSD to show up on the TV to help things along.

The new sub's auto sense HAS to be on Auto for it to work for some reason. I was also confused as on the display on the Anthem if you put the speakers to "Small" you lose the sub option. Because it becomes ON and you cant turn it off.

So now I'm happy and listening to some really good music with the sub blended in quite well.

Good morning folks!
I have a quick and hopefully easy question regarding the Analog audio processing option. First off, I ran and use arc. Second, my set up.is 2.1 with paradigm monitor 9's and a m&k sub.

So the question is why do I get better bass when I turn OFF the analog processing? The sub has been tested down to 17hz, and obviously the paradigms get nowhere near that.

I'm sorry I understand your question, but I don't understand how you are turning off analog processing. The MRX are digital receivers and even analog inputs such as iPod, CD etc.. are still still converted to digital before being output. The MRX doesn't have a "pure" mode that you can turn on/off bypassing the digital processing and turn on/off analog mode. The MRX is always in digital mode with no way to turn analog mode on or off.

That looks like the Gen2 software run on the MRX 310,510 and 710. Not the Gen1 software run on the MRX 300, 500 & 700. Are you asking about the MRX 310,510 or 710 in the MRX 300, 500 & 700 thread? I'm asking because that screen doesn't exits in the Gen1 software, but it is part of the Gen2 MRX x10 series that does have a pure mode.

Hi guys, I just picked up one of these awesome receivers, MRX 500, but am having trouble setting it up.
I started by putting everything back to factory defaults, and proceeded to program the outputs and such...
My question is why wont my i pod play?, it plays on other analogue gear that I have via rca cables.
What am I doing wrong?

I thought that's what I was doing by setting the input to analogue...
I'm beginning to wonder if there isn't something wrong with this unit, I have to set one channel much higher than the other so that they sound even, would there be a DC offset adjustment inside?
The only reason I'm keeping it so far is because it sounds great!
Any help is appreciated
